Speaking during Sky's Scotland debate, Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy denounced the paper, stating: "It's absolutely despicable, these are vile, they're insulting, they are an embarrassment, and on behalf of I think the whole of the United Kingdom we'd want to apologise to his Holiness the Pope."
Former Conservative MP and Catholic convert Ann Widdecombe said: "I think it will add to already strained relations with the Vatican. It is severely embarrassing for Britain. I am sure both sides will be anxious to put it behind them.
"It is unbelievable this came in an official Foreign Office document that was circulated to Downing Street.
"It beggars belief and shows the mocking attitude there is towards Christianity."
The Foreign Office was forced to issue a detailed apology after the controversial papers came to public attention.
The document, obtained by the Sunday Telegraph, also suggested Benedict XVI could show his hard line on the sensitive issue of child abuse allegations against Roman Catholic priests by "sacking dodgy bishops" and launching a helpline for abused children.
